100 Days of Chaos, Cruelty, and Corruption: America Boards the Pequod
America Boards the Pequod
As we mark Cinco de Mayo this year, we also find ourselves confronting a grim milestone: 100 days into the Trump presidency. While the day is often a celebration of resistance and resilience—honoring the Mexican victory over French imperial forces at the Battle of Puebla—this year it feels eerily symbolic of a different kind of struggle: the battle for the soul and survival of American democracy.
Cinco de Mayo
Trump’s first 100 days have been a whirlwind of executive orders, policy reversals, and rhetoric that veers between incoherent and incendiary. These days have been defined by confusion—chaotic rollouts of travel bans, knee-jerk firings of key officials, and contradictory statements that leave allies and adversaries alike guessing. They have been marked by cruelty—a crackdown on immigrants and refugees, relentless attacks on the press, and policies designed to strip the most vulnerable of basic protections. And they have reeked of corruption—a White House staffed by billionaires and insiders whose conflicts of interest blur the line between public service and personal gain.
But perhaps most troubling is how we got here. Roughly one-third of eligible voters actively chose this path, while another large swath of the electorate—about one-third—surrendered without a fight by staying home. Their inaction was as consequential as the ballots cast. In a democracy, apathy can be as destructive as bad choices.
To understand where we are, Herman Melville’s Moby Dick offers a chilling metaphor. Picture the United States as the crew of the Pequod. We have boarded a ship led by a captain whose obsession and madness are plain to see. Some passengers—Trump’s most ardent supporters—believe Ahab’s quest is righteous and just. Others sense the danger but rationalize it, thinking they can ride out the storm or even benefit from it. And many, far too many, have simply closed their eyes, ignoring the obvious signs of disaster ahead.

Now, as the Pequod sails out of harbor, the die is cast. The ship is moving, and it’s no longer easy to disembark. The crew has tied its fate to a man driven by ego, grievance, and a thirst for domination—qualities that, like Ahab’s, can only lead to wreckage.
America Boars the Pequod
The question we face: will we, as a nation, find a way to avert the catastrophe looming on the horizon, or are we fated to watch helplessly as the ship goes down? Melville’s tale is a tragedy. But unlike the crew of the Pequod, we still have choices. We can resist, we can organize, and we can refuse to be complicit in the madness. The next 100 days—and the next four years—will test whether we have the will and wisdom to do so.
Truth Tellers
These are must watch videos. Americans need to listen. Democratic, Republican, or non-voter…I suggest pairing the ideas of this blog with the three videos below. Together, they provide you a chilling analysis of American foreign and economic policy from a geopolitical perspective, Jeffery Sachs, and an economic perspective, Richard Wolff. Both men are saying very similar things about America and the union of their decades of work, experience, and knowledge coming from geopolitical and economic perspectives help encode our current reality.
Combine these clear-eyed perspectives and you get a chilling understanding of why Americans are at each other’s throats in an all out culture war… we are being manipulated by a system built for the rich and run by the rich… and it is so easy for them when mainstream, bread and butter Americans are fighting each other over manufactured ideas that have nothing to do with the real and present danger of Now.

Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC said it beautifully last night comparing what Musk and Trump are doing to cheaters breaking all the rules in football and claiming a touchdown! Don’t fall for this bullshit! Watch this short opening segment from last night.
Another thing Lawrence said is Trump is AFRAID of Elon!
Alright, let’s get to work humiliating Trump.

Create memes… and create them about these DODGE dodo boys and the two idiots running it. Mock them… relentlessly!

And do you remember Elon’s rocket ship exploding seconds after take off just before January 20?
Airspace worldwide had to be shut down to keep airplanes safe and wreckage from Elon’s failed rocket damaged property where it finally came down. Because of this, the FAA grounded Elon’s rockets after what he casually said was the ‘Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly’.
I know this is ancient history to us all now, but it was less than 3 weeks ago! It happened just days before Trump was sworn into office.
Do you know what else happened on that day?
Mike Whitaker, the FAA Chief, the guy who was keeping our skies safe from Elon’s crappy rockets falling out of the sky, resigned. [Read it for yourself here: Last FAA Chief Quit Following Pressure From Elon Musk]
Do you know why?
Because, Mike knew Elon was coming after him for grounding his crappy rockets.
Just a day before a deadly midair collision at Reagan National Airport outside Washington, D.C., employees at the Federal Aviation Administration were sent an offer to resign with eight months' pay.
The union for air traffic controllers recommended to its members that they not accept Tuesday’s offer, because the FAA had not decided which positions would be included in the resignation plan. An official for the Office for Personnel Management, the U.S. government's human resources arm, said Friday that controllers weren't eligible for the resignation plan or subject to the hiring freeze across much of the rest of federal government.
On the day of the crash between the Blackhawk heliocopter and passenger jet, Regan was understaff. The very next day… another fiery crash occurred in Philly. Then, over the weekend, if you can remember that far back, the NOTAMs (notice to air missions) failed, causing massive cancellations and delays across the USA.
The spate of recent aviation disasters and close calls have people worried about the safety of flying.
The midair collision that killed 67 near Washington, the fiery plane crash in Philadelphia and now a missing plane in Alaska are only the most high-profile disasters. There was also a Japan Airlines plane that clipped a parked Delta planewhile it was taxiing at the Seattle airport earlier this week and a United Airlines plane caught fire during takeoff at the Houston airport Sunday after an engine problem sparked a fire on the wing.
That’s not even to mention the security concerns that arose after stowaways were found dead inside the wheel wells of two planes and aboard two other flights. And don’t forget about the time that a passenger opened an emergency exit door on a plane while it was taxiing for takeoff in Boston.
So of course people are wondering whether their flight is safe?
Stay tuned!!! Because with Elon Musk (and his unbreakable Cyber Fucks) together with Orange Turd, there are going to be more crashes of planes.
Rachel Maddow Laughs Hysterically As Elon’s CyberFruck SPUTTERS — And Musk tried to get US (the people of USA) to buy is failing CyberFucks
OMG!!! And this one too!!! These idiots are ripping the US government apart so fast and so idiotically, they fired all the people who guard our NUKES!!!! And then, when they tried to get them back, they couldn’t find them!!!! LOL — this is a FAFO moment!!!
Trump and Musk PANIC after MAJOR SCREW UP — Those total Fuck UPs !! — more than 300 fired!
Shit… we need to see Elon’s cheeky son pick his nose next to Orange Turd. X also is heard telling Trump to “Shut his mouth and to get out of his daddies chair!”
LOL… Little 4 year-old X is telling Trump where to go…
Here Comes Big Balls
And Elon and his little, immature DOGE boys are now going to tweak the FAA’s entire systems. Specifically, one of the DOGE boys who goes by the call name “Big Balls”.
Oh Boy! Don’t you feel safer now that Big Balls is going to tweak our entire air safety system?!
Key Takeaways
* President Trump's administration is pressuring government employees to resign before a deadline, causing concern among civil service workers.
* Trump's efforts to cut costs and root out the 'Deep State' in D.C. are being met with criticism and alarm from various media outlets.
* Elon Musk's team is working to streamline federal government computer systems, sparking controversy and opposition.
“Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Wednesday that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will take part in upgrading the U.S. aviation system following the deadliest airline accident in decades. “Big News,” Duffy wrote on X. “Talked to the DOGE team.” – The Independent Duffy should be called Goofy.
I wish that I was making this up!!!!
But all this… and so, so, so, so much more… is happening NOW Americans!!
Do you really want to fly on an airplanes that are being kept from crashing into each other by Big Balls?
This is all connected.
Elon is unleashing the same sloppy shit he did at ex-Twitter onto the U.S. Government. And just like his poopy rockets, the entire Federal Government is coming apart in midair.
DOGE baby boys are going tweak the FAA systems. They have already had their grubby fingers in the Treasurer systems, the IRS systems, the USAID systems (and, Hello China… the world welcomes you in the gap of America’s sudden, unscheduled Rapid Disassembly of international aid and soft power). Coming up next for disassembly (could even be today): the CDC systems, the CIA systems, the FBI systems, Medicare and Medicaid systems.
One win today… Yeah… is that a spontaneous assembly of protestors gathered in front of the Department of Labor, which is where Musk and his Bad News Bears babies were scheduled to be today. And guess what? Musk and his Band of juvenile delinquent turned around and left today! They didn’t get in!!!
OK… this is for the MAGA dodos… because you are literally stupid… you may think the Federal Government is just Alphabet Soup, but all these agencies keep us safe from a very complication and dangerous world! Joy on MSNBC says it perfectly… watch her: https://www.msnbc.com/reidout
And in case you are wondering what those pardon Jan 6 criminals are up to:
This one looks really juicy!
So, this and so much more is why It Is Over… the game we all use to play as the United States of America has ended with Trump, Elon, the DOGE babies, and ignorance. That game is Over, but the NEW GAME IS ON… the Resistance is just getting started!
